One day a man named God decided to send a man to earth. A very wise man who would preach to all the people in Bethlehem and any place else. He chose two people to have a son together and his name would be Jesus. He chose a woman named Mary and a man named Joseph. They were only a couple, not even engaged. When Joseph heard Mary was having a baby, he wanted to break up with her. The night before he decided to tell Mary, he had a dream. It was more like a message from God. God sent Gabriel (an Angel) to send the message for him. "Do not part with Mary, Joseph." Gabriel said." For Mary is having a child sent by God, and his named shall be Jesus." Joseph decided to stay with Mary the next morning. When he went to Mary's house that day, soldiers from Bethlehem had come to announce that if you were born in a different place you had to go there. So Mary and Joseph packed their things and started to go to Bethlehem. Joseph walked as Mary road a donkey. Mary was pregnant when they left......

Days later, they got to the town of Bethlehem. Jesus was about to be born and there were no places to stay. The rooms were all taken. Finally they came to a man who didn't have a room, but he had a stable. Mary was about to give birth to Jesus so they took the stable. Jesus was born in that stable. Mary took some old clothes and wrapped them around baby Jesus. Some wise men had been traveling that week. They had found a new star. It shone brighter than any other star. The star shone where baby Jesus was born. The wise men followed where the brightest star led. When they got to the stable they gave baby Jesus gifts of myrrh, frankincense, and gold. Angels were singing songs of praise in the night. Animals bowed before baby Jesus, and so did many of the people outside. It was a peaceful, restful night. That is the story of "A Baby in Bethlehem".
